AnyBus-X Module Description Overview The AnyBus-X J1939 to Modbus Interface (AnyBus-X) allows you to monitor and control data on a J1939 heavy duty vehicle network using a Modbus RTU master device. Data from J1939 messages are mapped to I/O table locations, mak- ing them addressable using standard Modbus read and write commands.
AnyBus-X Module Description Hardware Description The AnyBus-X J1939 to Modbus Interface has a 15-pin D-Subminiature connec- tor for power and network connections. This connector has pins for module power, J1939 CAN connections, and Modbus RS-485 connections. See “Installa- tion” Page 2-1 for details on using this connector.
